Sports Shops in Barcelona

Sports Shops in Barcelona cater to all kinds of different sports.  So if you’re a runner or a surfer or anything in-between then we have got you covered.  Read on to find the Sports shop in Barcelona that is right for you.

Decathlon

Decathlon shops are some of the largest sports shops in Barcelona.  They have all kinds of different sports equipment and clothing, so you will be sure to find what you are looking for.  You can buy anything from roller blades to football kits.  Decathlon is also very cheap, they may not have the best quality Sports equipment but it is great value.  There are a few Decathlon stores in Barcelona including one right in the centre just off Las Ramblas.

Esports Nuria Barcelona

This shop has a good range of sports equipment, although it is not quite as big as Decathlon.  Esports Nuria is a great shop for swimmers as they sell all you would need for swimming in the Mediterranean or just in your local pool.

Inercia

Inercia is a more specialised sports shop in Barcelona.  They sell skate boards, long boards and roller blades along with any equipment that you need/ want with them.  If you like these extreme sports then Inercia is a great place to go.  They have high end products, which are a little expensive.  Although I would say they are worth the money.  The staff are very friendly and helpful and most of them can speak reasonably good English.

La General Surfera

This is another specialised sports shop in Barcelona, specialising in Surfing, snowboarding and skateboarding.  This sports shop sells high-end goods and brands, making it quite expensive.  It’s a very hip place that is perfect for you if you like to look good on your skateboard/snowboard/surfboard.  La General Surfera is quite large and they have a good selection of extreme sport clothing and equipment.

Adidas

There are also a couple of good Adidas shops in Barcelona.  One of them is an Adidas originals shop, which is more of a sporty fashion shop.  You can find this one in the Gotico area.  There is also an Adidas shop on Passeig de Grácia, which can be described as more of a sports shop.  It has a good selection of sporting clothing and equipment for sports such as running and football.  It is not the biggest sports shop in Barcelona but in this shop it’s all about quality not quantity.

The Barcelona Marathon: More Than Just a Race

The Barcelona Marathon 2012 will take place on the 25^th of March and is bigger than ever.  Last year over 15,000 people took part in the Barcelona marathon and that number will only go up this year.  As I will be running the Barcelona Marathon, I want to persuade you all to come along and experience one of Barcelona’s best events.

For those who don’t know a marathon is 42.195 km (26 miles and 385 yards), very, very long and this SuiteLifer is crazy enough to run it.  The Barcelona Marathon goes all over the centre of the city, passing all the famous sites, such as the Torre Agbar and the Sagrada Familia.  Here is a map of the route, just so you know where to go to cheer me on.

Route Map

 

Race day entertainment

The Barcelona Marathon is not only about running.  There is so much more going on around the Barcelona Marathon.  Scattered across the route of the marathon there 41 so called “animation points”.  These animation points are meant for the entertainment of the runners and spectators alike.  From rock bands to kettle drum bands there is plenty too keep everyone entertained.  For a full list of the “animation points” and where to find them click here.

 

Expo Sports

In conjunction with the marathon there is going to be a huge sports expo in Barcelona.  The expo is in the Fira de Barcelona, pavilion 6 near Placa de Espanya.  The Expo Sports is said to be one of the most important expos of running, triathlons and trail in Europe, and is expected to play host to 140 stands and 60,000 visitors.  Entrance is free and it’s a great place to learn more about sports and buy a nice new pair of professional running shoes.

Breakfast Run

If you want to join in all the fun but don’t want to run a whole marathon there is a fun little Breakfast run that you can take part in.  It is on Saturday the 24^th open to everyone and free of charge.  All you have to do is collect a bib from the Expo Sports and be ready to go at 9:30 am.

 

Fundraising

As I mentioned before I have decided to run in the Barcelona Marathon.  I have never done a marathon before and 3 weeks before the race I decided I wanted to raise some money for a good charity and run the Barcelona Marathon.  It is going to be a challenge, especially with only 3 weeks training, but if I can raise enough money it will be worth it.  I’m raising money for Farm Africa, a charity that “works directly with rural communities in eastern Africa, building their skills and knowledge and enabling them to lift themselves out of poverty”.

Discover an Amazing Sport in Barcelona: Roller Derby

Sport in Barcelona is not only about football (although some FCBarca fans would definitely disagree). Other sports in Barcelona do exist and among them is the super cool sport called roller derby. Do not forget to check this section of our blog to be aware of all sports events in Barcelona.

What is the Roller Derby?

Roller Derby comes from America and has been highlighted in the movie Whip It! in 2009 with Ellen Page and Drew Barrymore. There are two teams of 5 members roller skating and the game consists of a few match ups in which one member of each team has to lap members of the other team. To score points, the defensive team has to stop the others from lapping them, and as you can imagine it’s no holds barred. The Rules are not very difficult and if you want to learn more, Wikipedia is your best friend! Today roller derby is mostly dominated by female amateur teams and the show is more theatrical than athletic, with punk aesthetic and third-wave feminism as major influences. Barcelona Roller Derby is no different!

Roller Derby in Barcelona

In 2010 some girls from Barcelona decided to create their own team and to expand this sport in Barcelona. Barcelona Roller Derby is the first roller derby league in Catalunya. There are more than twenty team members and they look really determined! Fishnet stockings, tattoos, piercings, make-up and roller skates are their equipment (and mouthguards of course!). They even have their own nicknames, like “Violent Femme”, “Salva Satana” or “Mala Yerba”. Yikes!

You want to learn more and actually watch a game? You can go to their training and watch it. They practice every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, from 9:30pm to 11:30pm, at CEM Trinitat Vella (a large gymnasium for sports in Barcelona). You will be super impressed by all these women and they also have a page on Facebook and also their own blog.

When is the next game?

Calling all Barcelona yoga enthusiasts! The Best yoga classes in Barcelona are not hard to find if you know what you’re looking for! Ranging from mild to wild, yoga studios in Barcelona offer Hatha, Kundalini, Ashtanga, and Bikram, and are something for everyone, from beginners to the most experienced of practitioners, to check out.

Hatha

The word Hatha comes from the Sanskrit words “Ha” meaning sun, and “tha” meaning moon. It was invented by Yogi Swatmarama sometime in the 15^th century and is characterized by a practice which combines postures, breathing, and meditation to achieve relaxation and enhance flexibility and strength. Less technically speaking, it is what people generally think of when they hear the word “yoga.” There are no “required” poses but the instructors should give plenty of modifications to either take it down or step it up a notch in intensity.

If you’re looking for yoga classes in Barcelona, the aptly named “Yoga Studio Barcelona” offers four different levels of Hatha yoga classes, including a Level 1-2 for people who are athletic but have never done yoga before. Classes run all week but fill up fast so get there early.

www.yogastudio.es

If you want to take yoga classes in Barcelona but need them to be in English, the Well Woman Center on Monday and Tuesday afternoons and Wednesday nights at 8 p.m. has them. You can check out their website or go to their group on Meetup (Vinyasa Flow in English).

http://www.bcnwellwoman.com/english/classes/index.html

 

Kundalini

Not going to lie, I have never personally tried Kundalini yoga classes in Barcelona. But don’t stop reading yet; it is apparently one of the most popular styles of yoga as any search will turn up dozens of results. Kundalini yoga is characterized by a dreamlike, meditative state in which the body is awakened through the gradual release of untapped energy (pranayama) from the seven chakras. It is represented by the serpent, said to lie coiled at the base of the spine and wait for release. It is a deeply spiritual practice, which begins with a chant or song and meditation, followed by an “awakening” of the limbs through different postures, and another chant or song and meditation in closing. And by the way, they wear flowing white robes and speak in Sanskrit. So if you’re looking to engage in some lighthearted conversation with classmates or just stumble into a class after work this might not be the best option. Nevertheless, just reading about it has made me curious and if I decide to go I will definitely check out one of these two studios in Barcelona:

The “Shuni Yoga” studio literally has classes all the time, and even one for women only. Located in Sagrada Familia, its website has all the info you need.

http://www.shuniayoga.com/

“I good, All good,” or “Yo bien, todo bien,” is the simple but groovy motto of “Kundalini Yoga West in Barcelona.” They offer a free class if you’ve never been before!

http://www.yogawestbcn.com/

Ashtanga

I’m going to depart slightly from giving advice on yoga classes in Barcelona, to say that Ashtanga literally changed my life. I was fortunate enough to study under Debra Corso in Orlando, Florida who inspired others through her insightful prologues and hands-on instruction. There is an adherence to structure in Ashtanga, which if you have a good teacher, makes it very easy to lose yourself in the practice.  It is not something that you can master on your first try but if you enjoy it, then you will go back week after week to do the same postures until you THINK you’ve mastered them, at which time your instructor should and will (hopefully) throw in another element to make it challenging again. This is the type of yoga where you turn yourself into a pretzel, ok?

The classes are longer – usually an hour and a half to two hours, instead of the standard one hour and fifteen. It is my personal favorite, if you make it through the first forty-five minutes without feeling totally overwhelmed then chances are by the end of class you’ll be a convert too.

Ashtanga Barcelona Yoga is AWESOME. Their classes are open to students at 7 am, but technically don’t start until 10:30 am, giving ample time for relaxation and stretching before class. There is also a beginner workshop on Saturdays and Sundays on the last weekend of each month.  One suggestion is all you need here.

www.ashtangayogabarcelona.org

Bikram

Ah Bikram yoga…criticized by some, loved by many. It is not for the faint of heart!  Bikram yoga classes in Barcelona are frequented by many different types of people as it has become something of a craze, spreading with intensity (pun intended) around the globe. This is the type of yoga where they raise the temperature of the room to the ungodly temperature of 105 degrees to allow for deeper breathing and greater flexibility. I have only tried Bikram yoga once but I have several friends who practice nearly every day of the week and who have even participated in the trademark “thirty day challenge” (practicing every day for thirty days). I guess the good thing about Bikram, and the reason so many athletes and exercise aficionados are crazy about it, is that it provides instant results. Personally, I’m not a fan of sweating profusely but if you want to give it a shot here is the link to Bikram yoga classes in Barcelona:

Barcelona Bikram has a 15 euro introduction rate, meaning you can take an unlimited number of classes for a whole week. There regular classes go for 15 euros each so this is great value but it does make me wonder if the weekly rate is offered because they don’t expect you to come back, hehe.

www.bikramyoga.es

There are many other styles of yoga but these were the big four which came to mind as I was writing this article. What styles of yoga have you tried? How have you found yoga classes in Barcelona? Which ones are your favorite/least favorite?

I look forward to reading your answers!

 

Namaste.

From the 27th of August until the 1st of September, the Barcelona Gran Casino will host the 2nd tournament of the European Poker Tour.

Since 2004, when the european side - EPT - of the World Poker Tour was founded, there has been an event at the Barcelona Gran Casino at Port Olympic.

Who hasn’t played poker with his friends or got hold of a chip suitcase in the poker explosion of 2004? Everybody likes to place a bet – from your neighbor to famous singers or even your grand-parents. Sometimes it’s just for fun to be with friends but for others this is a job. They can make around 20,000€ a month which is a nice little earner, but they can lose the same amount of cash in less than one game. If you’re not a professional or even if you’re a professional and want to see the world’s best players in action you have to get down to the Barcelona Gran Casino from the 27th of August to the 1st of September.

For the second leg of the 8th season of the European Poker Tour, the Barcelona Gran Casino in the Arts Hotel will be the spot where all the best poker players will hold, fold or hit during the week! Indeed, the European Poker Tour is one of the main European Poker Tournaments.
Last year the prize pool reached 3,790,000€ and the winner Kent Lundmark, a swedish player, won 825,000€ after beating 756 competitors and especially his last opponent the spanish player Jose Cortes Lizano.

In parallel to this main poker tournament there are other tournaments too: around 20 tournaments are organized during the whole week including the “High Roller” with a buy in of 10,300€, the 6-max tournament at 5,200€, or the heads up at 3,200€ to buy-in.

Watch the tournament

Anybody is welcome to watch the tournament and there is no specific dress code. You can go there in casual chic but like in every casino no shorts, flip-flops, sweat pants or swimsuits are allowed (only the Vegas casinos allow people to were funny stuff). But you must be at least 18 years old and don’t forget to bring your ID or passport.

• Where is the Barcelona Gran Casino:  c/ Marina, 19-21, 08005. You can’t miss it at Port Olimpic.
• For more information about the Gran Casino go to their website.

European Poker Tour Coverage

As this event is a big one for all poker players, the coverage is really important so if you don’t have time to go to the Gran Casino you can follow all the events on various different channels.

• If you don’t have the time to go there you can watch the tournament online thanks to the PokerStars.tv
• You can also get all the latest news about the tournament on the PokerStars Blog.
• Check the timetable of the Barcelona EPT.

FC Barca vs Real Madrid – What a game!

Camp Nou, home of FC Barcelona, was venue for this years second leg of the Spanish Supercup. The fist match, played in Madrid last Sunday, ended 2:2. That being said, the second match of El Clasico was supposed to be really thrilling/exciting.

In the end, the game barca vs. real turned out to be one of the best matches I have ever seen in my life. Basically, El Clasico, again, had everything to offer. Wonderful goals, a great atmosphere in the sold out Camp Nou, nice tacklings, dribbling and high emotions.

.

Lionel Messi – One Man Makes The Difference!

Lionel Messi is one of the best football players. Even though all of El Clasico’s players are world class, Messi is able to decide a game by his own. The first goal, scored by Iniesta, was wonderfully prepared by Messi. Goal 2 and 3 were scored by the Argentian himself.

All in all, I was amazed by the quality of the game. One shouldn’t forget that the saison haven’t even started. However, due to the rivalry El Clasico is always connected with high emotions and fights.

I am really excited to see what is going to happen during the upcoming season. In my eyes, Real is stronger than last year. Barcelona din’t lose any important players but finally transferred Fabregas and Alexis. What do you think? Is Barca going to win three titles next season?

Barcelona FC – Update On The Best Football Team On Earth!

Barcelona – One of the most famous football clubs on our planet, FC Barcelona, won the National Championship and the covetted Champions League last season. The way of playing is unique. Messi, Xavi, Iniesta  and David Villa don’t win games, they humilate their enemies. The only thing which didn’t make the season perfect was the loss of the “Copa del Rey” against Barca’s closest rival, Real Madrid, in extra time! Pep Guardiola’s team dominated this game as well, but the defensive tactics of Madrid and a good portion of  luck helped Real win against Barcelona for the first and only time last season.

FC Barcelona News

Last season is over and a new one is about to start. What has changed?

FC Barcelona Transfers:

The first team of Barcelona basically didn’t change a great deal. The most famous new player at Barca is the Chilean “wonderboy” Alexis Sanchez. He is 22 years old and was transferred from Udinese Calcio for €26m . Alexis, handed with number 9, has high expectations of Barcelona and will try to be part of the first eleven right away.

Bojan Krkic, who went through Barcelona’s youth teams and made the jump into the first team, was transfered to AS Rom. Although he already debuted at 17, he never really made it into the first eleven. His talent is out of the question. Thus, he will get experience with his new club in Italy and maybe return one day.

There were several different departures and new players but those were the most important ones. Also, Barca is still showing high interest in the Spanish player Cesc Fàbregas, who plays for Aresenal. In this case, the last word is not spoken.

US Tour:

With the goal of transmitting Barca’s values around the United States, the club started it’s nine-day tour on the 28th of July. The tour ended on the 6th of August with a flight back to Barcelona. In genearal, the tour was a big success. During the nine days Barcelona had three friendlies against Club America, Chivas Guadalajara and Manchester United. Especially the game against Manchester generated a lot of interest but also the two other games brought a lot of fans to the stadiums. Manchester United could take revenge for the loss in the Champions League Final and won 2:1 against Barcelona.

Even if those friendlies are good practise for the team, they still can’t be compared to a official match. Young players got their chance, some players were still on vacation and the condition needs to be improved as well.

New Shirt:

As you may have already seen, FC Barcelona got new shirts. The club signed a five-year contract with the non-profit Qatar Foundation. This contract makes Barca the club with the highest revenue on shirt sponsoring. During the five years, Barca will get € 150 million from the Foundation. After the first ever shirt sponsor in 2006, Unicef, Qatar Foundation ist now the second sponsor in Barca’s history. Unicef is still displayed on the backt of the shirt.

Supercup Final:

The first official game of this season is the Supercup Final against REAL MADRID. Wow!  The winner of the National Championship and the winner of the Copa Del Rey are going to play on Sunday the 14th of Auguts in Madrid and on the 17th of August in Barcelona. At this point of time, the squad will be super fit and ready to defend their cups. There are still some tickets left. Follow this link and you’ll get to the official Barcelona ticket shop.

I am really excited to see what the coming season is going to be like. Both, Real and Barca are stronger than last year. Altough Barcelona plays beautiful football and is hard to beat, Real is stronger than last year as well. However, I think Barcelona is going to make it again! Maybe with three titles this year.

Yours,

Alex!

Don Bratwurst Barcelona – Feel German For a Couple of Hours!

When my friends and I entered Don Bratwurst for the very first time, the Don welcomed us as if we had known each other for years. He says: “People either love or hate me. If somebody doesn’t like me, the person can stay outside”. One thing is clear – Don Bratwurst is probably the most unique person I have ever met.

A German Bar in Barcelona!

Beer, All Kinds of German Traditional Food And Football! – An Easy Concept!

Don’s concept is fairly easy. He has three waitresses serving beers and food in traditional German clothes (Bavarian Dirndl), one chef who is responsible for all kinds of tasty sausages, french fries or German pretzel and the Don himself who is more like an entertainer.

His place is packed with all kinds of football jerseys, souvenirs or things that doesn’t really fit in any categeroy. People sit on beer benches from Germany and the atmosphere is pretty similar to a football stadium. He says: ” During the football matches, the atmosphere is crazy! Germans feel as if there are at home and celebrate either the win of the National Team or their favourite team in the German Bundesliga!”. The Don opens his doors for all kind of football matches. Whether it’s the German Bundesliga, Champions League or National Tournaments.

People might think that Don Bratwurst is THE place to go for Germans in Barcelona. However, most of Don’s visitors are Spanish. Don: “Spanish people get here every weekend during the evenings and nights. They start eating my sausauges, drink German beer and then start partying with the famous German shot “Jägermeister”. They love it!”

That being said, Don Bratwurst is a unique and hilarous place to go for everyone! The sausauges are awesome and the beer is delicious.

Since the German Bundesliga starts on Friday night, this weekend is probably a good time to go! Be there a bit earlier, since good seats are pretty rarely.

How to get there:

The German Restaurant/Bar is located a bit further away from the heart of Barcelona. You are looking for  Line 5 – Green Line. Once you get out of the metro, just walk up the hill until you reach Passeig de Fabra i Puig 374.

The restaurant is open from Thursday-Sunday every week. If there is a special event, Don Bratwurst is open as well.

 

We had an awesome time at Don Bratwurst! It’s definitely not the place to go for everybody but you should give it a shot for sure! Do you like German food or the Bundesliga? If yes, let’s meet for a beer at the Don’s place.

Cheers,

Alex

 

 

 

 

Barcelona Tennis – Where to play Tennis in BCN!

We recently blogged about sports in Barcelona. Barcelona offers all kind of sports one could imagine doing during the summer. Tennis in Barcelona is probably one of the most popular ones.

Although tennis can’t keep up with the popularity of football in Barcelona, Spanish people passionately support one of the best tennis players on earth- Rafael Nadal. Furthermore, to play tennis in Barcelona is for sure one of the most common leisure activities.

Where to Play Tennis in Barcelona!

Barcelona is home to a lot of tennis and sports clubs. Since I haven’t been to any of them, I did some careful research and I’m gonna point out the best ones.

CEM Can Caralleu

Above all, one sports club amazed me. It’s called CEM Can Caralleu and is located on C/ Esports, 2-8. Beside tennis, they offer all kind of sport activites. The memberships are very variable. Tennis courses are held either in groups of 4 people or individually. In addition to the courses, you have tournaments from October to June. If you don’t want to be a member, you can just go there and book a court for an hour or so. The quality of the courts is aweseome. Unfortunately, their website is only avaibale in catalan, but I used Google Translator and it worked out perfectly .

Club de Tenis y Pádel / Olímpia Centro Deportivo

Another cool tennis club is located on C/ Perú, 215 in Sant Marti. It’s a club that specialises in tennis and the Spanish “tennis” – padél.
A membership is not required at all. Just go there and rent a court with 1 or more friends. Rackets and tennis balls are rented at club house. They have 3 padél courts, four clay courts, 3 grass courts, changing rooms for men and women. Once, you are done with the match, the losers  treat the winner to a cold drink in the cafe which also belongs to the club property. The staff speaks English, Spanish and Catalan. The opening hours are pretty uncommon if you compare them to the usual ones in Spain. The club is open from 8am until 11pm during the week. During the weekends they are open until 9 on Saturdays and 7 on Sundays and holidays.

 

Real Club de Tenis de Barcelona

Real Club de Tenis de Barcelona is the best and most traditional private Tennis Club in Barcelona. If you are a professional player, or have the talent to become one, this is the club to enter. Right now, Raphael Nadal is a member of Real Club de Tenis de Barcelona. Also, the top female player, Nuria Llagostera, has a membership. In addition to practice and regularly championships, Real Club de Tenis de Barcelona offers a professional tennis school called “Tennis rCTB”. Check out their website for further info.

Find a partner!

Although it’s really hot during the summer, a decent tennis match in the evening can be a lot of fun.

I found this really informative website, which brings together tennis players in Barcelona who look for someone to play with.
The site is non-profit and organises everything around the match. They offer tennis courts all over Barcelona. Sign up, edit your profile and you will find someone who is in the same situation.

Tennis Barcelona: check out their site!

Now that you have read this blog about tennis, you have all the information you need about playing tennis in BCN. Surely, there are several clubs and courts to rent. If you know a court/club, which you think has to be mentioned as well, please let us know and we’ll add them. For now, enjoy your partido.

Best,

Alex
